My story.

Healthy Habit Nutrition is a product of a passion that has been brewing for a long time. While struggling with my own weight my whole life, trying anything from diet pills, to extreme diets that only resulted in gaining and losing the same amount of weight over and over again. Leading to depression, loss of self-esteem, and just feeling like there is something wrong with me. I was constantly reading new research about weight loss, and I learned a lot. I knew exactly what I should eat to be healthy, and I knew how much I should eat to lose weight, but I couldn't do it. It was like I had split personalities where one side was super healthy and positive, and the other side was the "I don't give a damn, because I want cake now" personality.

There was one thing I still hadn't tried, and that was intermittent fasting. I always thought that I would never be able to go any amount of time without eating, because I thought of myself as a "grazer", and for the longest time we have been told to eat often to keep our metabolism cranked up. But reading about intermittent fasting started to really pique my interest. One day at work one of our customers told me he had started intermittent fasting, and raved about how great he was feeling. He said I should try it. And I did.

I fasted daily for over 6 months without much results. I did feel a little better but didn't lose any weight. There was still a part of me that knew that I only needed to tweak some things to make it happen, so I started digging deeper. I read about every study ever done on intermittent fasting, and I read every book written on the subject. I learned that what I ate during my feasting window had just as much, if not more to do with my success/lack of success, then how long I was fasting for.

So, when I started eating the right foods and combined it with the fasting schedule that suited my lifestyle, I quickly started seeing results, and in just 2 weeks I was down 15 pounds. I was feeling great, and I had more energy then I can ever remember having, and my joint pain was gone. Since then I have lost a total 25 pounds, I feel so much better overall, and I haven't even had a cold for years. 

There were several times in my life where I wanted to make nutrition a career, but I was never in a position to make it happen. After hitting the milestone of 50 years young, you would probably think that it was too late. But with a totally new outlook, and newfound energy levels, I felt that it is my obligation to help anyone who finds themselves in the position that I used to be in. So here it is, a labor of love and passion. A platform for helping others find their path. And if I'm only able to help one person, it will all be worth it.
